Bovine astrovirus (BoAstV) was identified by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction on brain tissue of 2 feedlot cattle that died of non-suppurative encephalitis. Sequencing demonstrated a high degree of identity with neurotropic US and Swiss BoAstV strains. To our knowledge, this is the first confirmed report of BoAstV-associated encephalitis in cattle residing in eastern Canada.
通过逆转录聚合酶链反应在2头死于非化脓性脑炎的饲养场牛的脑组织中鉴定出牛星状病毒（BoAstV）。测序显示与嗜神经性美国和瑞士BoAstV毒株高度同源。据我们所知，这是加拿大东部饲养牛中首例确诊的BoAstV相关性脑炎报告。
